(loving thus briefly touched at the cans-1 e* of our present oinbarrasmont.s let us now look to tho remedy. This is plain and pulpablo. The triumph of Wliigj principles, and tho administration of the Covernmonf by honest and capable men, I can alone give us relief. This is a truth we ' would impress upon the honest men of nil parties. The people know that if John Tyler had not proved a traitor to his paliticnl friends, wo should now have had an old fashioned U. S. Hank in full operation; Commerce, Agriculture, and Manufactures, would have once more flourish cd; and in consequence, the people would havo compelled (tie General (lovernmcnl to come forward in support of (lie credit of the State*. His (renchery has almost re-consigned us to the slaiigh of Loco focoiain ; and it remains for the people to determino whether they will extricate themselves and the country from the deep disgrace into which wo havo fallen, or whether the curses and abominations of n hard tnoniud Government and a pauper population, are to be entailed upon us forever by the triumph of our political op. ponentsin 1844.

European Agricultural Tour anj Survey. We invite attention to the article on i lie first pago under the above title. Mr. Colman's reports of his Agricultural Survey of Massachusetts are among the most valuable papers on the subject of agriculture ever given to the public in this country. That his reports from Europe will be of incalculable value to the country can be doubted by no one who has read his Massachusetts reports and who knows any thing of European agriculture.? Although tho crops, the soils, the climates, and the laborers of Europe are all different from ours, i...i .i ? ? in ?i > jFauu ut.ui y in uiu nuuiiiurn much, oliii iih: jjiiivi.ii principles which arc at llic foundation of improve, meats in soils and crops arc the same in a" countries and climates. An intelligent agriculturist cannot read a good rc|K>rt of a or10'' system of general ugriculturc in any j?ft of the world without profit. We return our thanks to the 11 ?n. John Cami-. bki.l for sundry valuuble public documents. CONGRESS. In the Senate the Oregon bill finally pasecd by a small majority. On the third instant, Mr. Berrien mado a report from the Judiciaty Committee on the bill of the House, and a bill of the Senate to repeal the bank, rupt act. The report recommends that the Senate l>ill Ix; indefinitely postponed ; and that tlic bill from the House be so amended ns not to rcpeul the act, but abolish the provision for voluntary bankruptcy, and require the consent of a majority of creditors to force a debtor to bankruptcy. On the 6th Mr. Archer moved a reconsideration of the the vote on the Oregon bill. The question of re. consideration was postj>oncd till the next day. On tho same day the Senate look up an Exchequer bill on the table, and Mr. Talluiadgc ma Jo a very able speech on the subject of the currency. On the 7th the motion to reconsider the question on the Oregon bill was taken up und lost, by a ; vote of 24 to 24; not a majority for it. Had this question and vote been on the passage of the bill it would have been lost. On the seine day Mr. MePufllc submitted res?lutions in fuvor of adopting measures to revive the commerce of tho country, iuerc isc its revenue, and i movent the accumulation of ! ulun for mA>li I fying the tariff to a strictly revenue standard, and retrenching expenses. (Jn the next day, .Mr. i Evans submitted a string of resolutions which lie ! said ho would move as un umendmant to Mr. Mcl).'s when taken up. Theso declare that the ' principal causes which depressed the commerce of the country were the want of a good currency, and j slate repudiation; that the Federal (Government j will not pay the state debts but that the states themselves ought to do it. In tho House the navy bill is still under consideration, and nothing else of much imporluncc. . A vcrv interesting scene was exhibited in ihe I lion ho of Representatives on the 7 III.

On motion of Mr. Taliaferro the addresses of Messrs. Summers and Adams were entered on the journal. The House then adjourned, though early in the day. The next morning the resolution was adopted by thu Senate, after a few eloquent and impressive remarks by Mr. Arelier and the Senate adourncd. TBMl'BRANCC. In the large, wealthy, and populous district of Newberry such has been the influence of the Temperance Reform upon public opinion, tbut at the January meeting of tlic Commissioners of Roads, the time when it was usual for retailers to apply lor a renewal of their licenses, there was not a single application. Such a thing lias probably not occurred in any district in the state before, since the present license system went fully into operation. At Laurens C. II. the last retail shop has recently been closed; and the Commissioners have determined to grant no licenses for the district. Mr. Carey is now in Charleston lecturing on Temperance. We see in a Columbia paper an advertisement offering for sale a quack nostrum on the ruconlmendationoftwo members ofCongress from South Carolina." The Hon. S. II. Butler recommends it as " highly valuable in colds, because" he certifies " I have experienced relief from it myself, and I can safely recommend it as possessing great healing powers." The Itulics are so marked in the certificate. The Hon. James IIouers adds: " I have tried the nbovo medicine, und concur entirely in Mr. Holler's opinion." Ne so tor ultra crepidam. If members of Congress would confine the publication of their opinions and certificates to the subject of national jiolitics and President-making?the one in which a large proportion of them seem to feel the deepest interest, and with which they arc, generally, somewhat acquainted?they would be less apt to fall into ludicrous mistakes, than in making publications on Therapeutics and Materia Mcdica. The only " healing" power in Therapeutics (known to those who understand the subject) is the vis medicairix n'atur.k. Supjiosc this power to be extinguished in the animal liody to which the " Life Preserver" of " the two members of Congress from South Uatolin i" is applied, and what would be the effect produced by its " great healing powers" ? The language of the honorable gentlemen is about as correct an it would be to speak of the propelling power of the grease and blacklcad applied to a wagon wheel. All intelligent physiologists know that in healing processes in the animal economy, medicines act only by removing obstacles out of nature's way, or by aiding nature in removing or overcoming them. The " healing" is done by nature herself. If the Honorable " members of Congress" apply to a physician a dozen times, and he relieves them each turn of their " colds," though in all the successive instances, a change of symp. toms requires a change or modification of treat, meat, they think nothing of it. Treating diseases is his vocation, lie has studied it, understands it, and therefore succeeds in it. Hut if they apply to an ignorant empiric,?or what is more common, if lie applies to them for permission to cx|>eriinent upon tlium, and his oxpariuiont fails, nothing is said about it. llut if Ins nostrum happens to suit Iho particular variety and stage of 44 cold4' from which they sutler, they arc in raptures that a fellow so ignorant should know how to cure a cold, and they give him an unqualified certificate of their confidence in him, or rather, in his 44 medicine," as a general eold-curer; uud that without reference to the variety or stage of the cold?to constitution or age?to climate or season?to the clTcct upon the secretions, whether cutaneous, renal or mucous?whatever may be the state of the body, whether sthenic or asthenic?whether it suffers from plethora or depletion?whether it needs bleeding or stimnlantH, starving or stuffing?whatever may have been the previous stato of health ? whatever organ may bo utlcctcd, however, and to whatever extent; let the disease only be called " a cold," unit whatever the symptoms, this is " the best medicine." Because the Honorable gentlemen once " tried" travelling up the river from the month of Potomac Creek, and thus they reached Washington City, do they therefore infer that by travelling up the river from Ceorgetown, Baltimore, Philadelphia or Columbia, they will also reach Washington City I No. Why do they not? Because they understand the subjee.t matter of consideration, and know better. We repeat the adage : Ne autor ultra crepidum. We mean no disrespect to the " two members of Congress from South Carolina." Nor can the most fastidious allege that there is any indelicacy in the introduction of their names into our columns in connection with this subject. Tliey gave the certificates (supposing them to l>c genuine) with their names appended by themselves, evidently for llie purpose of being made public, and thereby challenged public scrutiny. The small pox is now prevailing to more or less extent in Iloston and New Oilcans, and o.io or two small towns in Mississippi, it was stated in the Columbia Chronicle two or throe weeks since, on the authority of a letter from Charleston, that it existed also in that city. We sec advertised in the CJcorgctown Ohservrr, a negro man committed to the jail of Williams, luirg " who says his name is Jim, and that lie belongs to Neal MolJridc of Chesterfield District." If the law requires nothing to he done to inform the owners of runaway slaves taken up and committed to jail, except to advertise in any paper which the shcritVor jailor may select for that purpose, it ought to he amended. It is the interest of slicrifis or jailors to retain slaves as long as they can, he cause incir sues arcincrcuy increased, it is therefore their interest to select that paper for advertising which llie owner of a slave committed will he least apt to see, or hear of. Not many she-rill's or jailors would do so; yet the law ought not allow any to do it. The Naval Court .Martial for the tri ll of Ai.kx. aniii-r Si.ima.i.

Is it any wonder that, in the light of such decisions, we should be considered a nation of thieves and robbers, by foreigners t The following statement appeared in the Charleston Mercury of the dtli February, and was overlooked by us at the time or we should llkve copied it sooner. Humbugs arc so common in our day, arid the public seem so easily gulled by them, that every exposure of any of them calcula] ted to impress the popular iniiul, ought to be as ! extensively circulated as possible by the conducI tors of newspaper*. T1IE SO-CA1.I.EI) MERMAID. "We have examined the production recently exhibited at the Masonic Hall purporting to be " the most wonderful curiosity in the world?the Mcr- , ! maid." j This pretended wonder is formed bv the artificial ! union of two very distinct and widely separated species?an A|?e and a Fish. The form of the head?the presence of hunds witli flat nails, and the long canine teeth, prove that the upper part of this compound In-longs to the order quadrumana or four handed animals, which arc composed of many genera and species, i*; xt are usually called by the general name of Monkeys- The presence of check (touches, which in this dried pecin,?n aru thrust upwards on the cheek bones, unnouncc ii to i.':ivc been an iuliab:tant of the old world and not of i!:o as no American Monkey has as yet been discovered with these appendages. The specimen has been much distorted and disguised in the preparation; it appears, however, to be that of an African species, frequently seen in the managerics of the Unitcd States. The lower part is the tail, together with the skin of the body of a Fish of the order Malacoptcrygii Abdominalis of Cuvicr, which includes u large family of fishes whose rays arc all soft, followed by a second one, small and adipose. The method which has been adopted to iin(?osc this gross deception on the public, is the following. The body of a Monkey, (the hips and lower extremities having been removed,) is inserted into the skin of the Fish deprived of its heud?the vertebral column of the Monkey descending eight or ten inches into the fish's skin. The termination of the fish skin upwards can be traced without much dillieulty round the body, resting on the skin of the Monkey which passes underneath. This caricature of nature is rendered more absurd when we take into consideration that we have here the whole of the chest of a Monkey and the skin of the whole chest, abdomen and tail of a Fish, giving to the animal two chcsU and two abdomens. Regarding as we do the exhibition of such a deformity, uii injury to natural science?as calculated to perpetuate oil tlie minds of llic ignorant an absurd fable, and to extort 1110 icy from tlie public under false pretences, we feel it our duty to expose this vile deception, and to denounce the man who exhibits it as an itnposter.

Of the liberal and patriotic sp'uit with which this able, faithful, and long tried servant of his country was welcomed by all parlies, sunc opinion inay be formed from the following: ADDKKSS OK OOV. ClAYLK. " Mr. t:uv?The citizens of Mobile havenssigned me the grateful and pleasing duty of congratulating you on your arrival in Alabama, and of assuring you of the unfeigned satisfaction your visit affords tlicin in bidding you welcome to our i shores. 1 represent the entire body of our citizens, who disdain, on this occasion, to bo recognised by any party designations. Our municipal nil. thoritics, our military companies, our scientific, literary and professional men, our farmers, mechanics and merchants ?all, sir, of every trade, calling and vocation, unite with one voice ill the oiler of their cordial Habitations, and in tendering to you the hospitalities of this ancient eiiy. This, sir, is the s)K>ntaneous homage which an in. telligcnt, discerning and virtuous community, arc iver ready to pay to great talents, to exalted worth, and to eminent public services. " Your connexion with public affairs embraces a :>criod of more than thirty ycare, and when it is remembered, that during the time, you have been ;alicu to oarticipatc in tlio control and managcnent of almost c , crv department of the public ser,'icc, and that you have OXertC"' a marked und de:isive influence upon those great tuCJUu.41"08 which lave been proposed s proper to fix and settle th? )olicy of the government, it is obvious, that the :vcnts of your life and the history of the republic ire so blended, that the pages which record the one nust include the other. During your long, ardu?us, and conspicuous career, it could not be cx(ceted, that you would escape those angry party :ollisions which arc inseparable from free govcrnncnt. Nor could it be sup|M>scd, that the prcjuliccs mid passions which these collisions seldom ail to excite, would exempt your conduct from (ccasional, unjust and illiberal criticism. But like dl had feelings and passions, their duration has ccn brief. They have vanished before the light if truth, und given way to those sentiments of jusice and liberality which the American people vill always ultimately entertain towards their aithful public servants. And now, sir, when you lave withdrawn from the perplexities and cares of lublic business, and sought in retirement the re oseso congenial to the evening of life, it cannot >ut be gratifying to behold the cheerfulness with whieh your countrymen every where, and of eve y party, hear witness to your ardent and lofty patriotism and to the purity and integiity of your political life. 44 We of .Mobile, in an especial manner, owe you a debt of gratitude for your patriotic efforts in inducing the government to wrest from the dnmin-1 ion of the King of Spain this interesting section of the Union. Those who were opposed to this step, were alarmed at, and deprecated the wrath of Great Britain, which they sup|>oscd would be roused ugainst us by any interference with the territories of Spain, then her friend and ally. But ~r 1 ,?i 1 ??o IV IUIKIVU ??? |M?| i Ul > UUI bIWVU IV UUVf UUUIIDI I from the imagin ury fears of the colossal power of the mistress of the seas, you fearlessly and eloquently maintained our right to the possession of the country, and demonstrated the policy and propriety of subjecting it to our laws. Mobile was then jn obscure village, a mere dcjicndoncy of a Spanish military post?you now iK'hold it a city of extensive commerce, and the emporium of one of die largest staple States in the Union. For this, tir, and for all the distinguished services you have rendered this great country, we tender you our thanks and gratitude, and again I bid you wcl. come, thrice welcome to the State of Alabama." We have not space for the eloquent reply of Mr. Clay. The two mates of the brig Poultney, of Haiti, more, attempted uliout the 25lli November, to murder the captain and take the vessel, which at Ihc lime was on a voyage to South America. The [dan serins to have been badly concerted and worso executed. The Captain was knocked down late it night, whilst he was passing up the companion ivny, by one of the mates; the other mate iminrdi. ?'?ly went on deck to prevent the crew from interfering, by telling t'lein that the captain had a sen tile with the second mate and would certainly shoot my of them who might enter the cabin. Some if them, however, did enter and save the captain's life, (hie of the mutes is said to be from C'harleson, ami well educated. These facts are stated >y the captain of n vessel which arrived in Boston "rent l'crnuinbuco. The plot seems not to have been communicated to any of the crew. Those who would have MeKeii/.ic convicted of murder for ixccuting Spencer ami others for plotting a siiniar clime, may derive some comfort from this. If liraey on bo ird American vessels is what they wish, it would seem they are likely to be gratified. 1 Since the above was put in type we have re:civcd the Charleston Courier of the Slh, in which we find the following paragraphs: "Meriw.?A letter from Havana savs: 'We liuvc had a ' Sotners Mutiny' on a small scale.? rite brig (Sun hi, of Boston, Saui.k, master, from Mobile for the former port, put in here two days tiiiice. the crew bavin" refused dutv and olotted to murder tlic Captain and Mate, and (.ike (lie brijj to?' llit' I sir of 1'inm' of course.
